Partial beta oxidation of a 12:0 fatty acid could yield which of the following in addition to an acyl-CoA longer than 3 carbons?
Correct Answer: 2 acetyl CoA + 2 FADH2 + 2 NADH + 2
H+
Please explain how.
Ans) For complete oxidation of 12 Carbon long fatty acid beta oxidation cycle runs 5 times.
For producing 2 acetyl CoA + 2 FADH2 + 2 NADH + 2 H+ the 12 carbon long fatty acid undergo 2 beta oxidation cycle that is partial oxidation of 12:0 fatty acid becaus One cycle of beta oxidation produce acyl CoA (2 C less than Fatty acid carbon chain) + Acetyl CoA + 1 FADH2+ 1NADH +1 H+.
